Federer and Nadal's preparations for the Australian Open could not be more contrasting as the latter deals with an ongoing knee problem which continues to threaten his bid for a second Melbourne title and first since 2009, when he left the Swiss maestro weeping like a schoolboy on Rod Laver Arena.

"Nadal, he's No 1 in the world and made the finals past year - I don't think I would be ahead of him as a favourite". "I don't like usually going to draws because they freak me out".

"I always played to be able to compete in one of these big tournaments".
